I’m going to venture a guess.
The SSU is not in the list of patches to be installed, but it downloads and installs with the CU. I believe it presents itself in the Update History as the update as well as the CU doing this. If you look in the Installed Updates, you will see it listed as two separate updates with two different KB numbers.

Supposedly, the update mechanism installs the SSU first, then the CU. This may be what you are seeing with what appears to be a second install. The Build number doesn’t change until the installation completes after the second reboot.

I believe you are correct. I looked at installed updates and it did not show 4528760 on 1/14 only on 1/15

I just noticed a oddity from yesterdays Updates. Yesterday afternoon i downloaded and installed KB4528760 the CU for 1909. It seemed to and showed that it installed just fine and there were no problems.

This morning i hit checked for updates and it offered KB7528760 again. While it was downloading i checked the version # and it was 18363.535 after the CU was installed the second time the version was 18363.592.

I am not sure if the CU actually failed or it was something else. Just thought i would throw this out there.

I also have been using the beta version for a few months with no problems. My main browser is chrome but i actually like Edge and i could see using it as a full time browser

if needed.

No matter who the PC manufacturer is, it is still a Microsoft Windows 10 license tied to the PC’s motherboard and has nothing to do with Microsoft (or Dell) accounts.

As Alex states your key belongs to Microsoft not Dell. You can reinstall Windows as many times as you want any way you want and as soon as you are connect to the internet Microsoft will validate your new install.

Is the Fresh Start option going to default to installing 1909, or will i have a choice to get 1903?

I dont see on any of your posts what version Windows your computer came installed with. you will not be able to chose. If you have 1903 it may well install 1909 however i wouldn’t worry about it 1909 is a very small update and there has been almost no problems with it.

I recommend using the fresh start option. Open the update section in settings go to security and click on device performance and health. You will see it at the bottom of the screen.

It will install a fresh copy of windows with no 3rd party software and it keeps all of your personal documents intact. I use it after every Feature update and it works great.

I am not sure if this is normal but i did have to install the 1903 CU before it offered me 1909.

As other posters have noticed it was incredibly fast. I would say about a quarter of the time it took to install the 1903 CU.

No apparent problems other than i also am seeing MSRT repeatedly wanting to install.

Last where in the heck do you go to change your signature? I have done it before but cant find it anywhere.

If what i read is correct it now considers itself a

full antivirus and therefore would override Windows Defender.

Can anyone confirm this?

Also i installed all three updates (.net,autopilot and CU) with no obvious problems.

Gotta love you Woody. You must spend an extraordinary amount of time every month searching the deepest,darkest corners of the web to come up with as many problems as you can. ( I would put a smile here but i dont know how)

Color me a happy camper with none of these problems from the updates.
